And didn’t we actually have a whole thread on cheap eats? Was it under $10 or something? Or was that on our old board?
may have been……I would be fine w/ $10 and under (although that usually includes food only and it’s always better to have a beer or something……)

$5 is a nibble these days
[/quote]I think he (she?) was kidding.
NS1? unlikely. lol. more of a challenge. it’s certainly doable, but limited for the most part to a single item/dish.

$7. base cap. Not difficult at all. Make it so, I say.
[/quote]Okay great. That covers lunchtime. But what about my cocktail? I’m going to need a margarita on Taco Tuesday.
Okay, I think this may make everyone happy: PASTA FROM NORTHERN ITALY FOR $5-$10, KETCHUP FRIENDLY

the only things that are ketchup friendly: french fries & tater tots (in the face of you hot dog deviants 
)

Rich, poor, faking it… this could be a good exercise for all. The best part of living in L.A. is the cheap thrills. But there’s all this expensive stuff to distract us.

Oh, that sounds familiar! I don’t think @jesstifer posts much/at all anymore, but I could’ve sworn that he was one who originated such a thread. Can’t recall whether it was here or on CH (and I ain’t gonna try to do a search on the old board… 
).
Truth be told, a running thread on cheap eats isn’t a bad idea at all… But maybe it being DoTM will kickstart things.
These got a lot of traffic… and some collisions

Thanks @TheCookie. Those were it. 
They already got over 200 replies. I think maybe we should do a different DOTM.

Aw shucks. Maybe you’re right. It could be fun though… more pictures than those other threads.
Yes. There was a $5 and under (and I think a $10 and under) discussion on that other website. Perhaps a re-boot is warranted here.
Yes to CHEAP EATS or TACOS or EGGS!

CHEAP EATS – defined as $8 or under for main dish at breakfast or lunch, $12 for the meal all in; $10 main item at dinner, $15 for the meal per person at dinner.
NORTHERN ITALIAN as a region.
PASTA.
(too early and hot for soups/stews for me)
Thanks for your service, pgl! If you have an end-of-month period when you are traveling or have obligations, let me know and I’ll sub back in temporarily.

I don’t know if this would fit into the spirit of DOTM or if it would be too confusing, so feel free to dismiss, but I nominate…
NEW
All dishes must be new to you (the poster), whether it be the first time ever having that dish/cuisine or the first time at a particular restaurant/truck.
I also second FISH and CURRY
